Singles have so many dreams. Some wish to travel and see beautiful places; some, to work abroad and experience living independently. But the most common dream of every single, man or woman, is to have a stable job, get married, have a family of his/her own, raise children and acquire a beautiful house to settle in.
Yet, such dream has brought many to frustration with years and years of waiting without any results at all. A good number of them felt that life has passed them by. It seemed that their best years had gone behind them and that their dreams would never come true.
Do singles have to lament over these facts? Of course not! It is not good to carry the blame even when one is really at fault. It doesn’t help. Many may have been blind and deaf to what God has planned for them. Some even question God for not really showing His plans for them. Others just resign and say, “que-sera-sera, whatever will be, will be!”
Reactions of such kind only show one’s inability to know what God wills for them. There are those who persist in praying for guidance but simply ignore the wisdom from the Holy Spirit. They actually hear something from God but totally disregard them for not being in keeping with their own desires. And so they just stop praying.
Singles need to realize that everyday is an opportunity to achieve their dreams. All they need to do is to be closely connected with God. By doing so lies the assurance that will show them the way. For God knows what is truly best for us. He knows and understands our dreams and will make sure that we will be able to reach them provided we entrust ourselves to Him.
Most of us fail to understand God’s plans for us. We always become impatient and get tired of waiting. Yet God has his own timing and his timetable is only designed to protect us. He doesn’t want us to regret. Jesus wants us to come closer to Him and listen to His voice. He wants us to know His plans for us and to accept them by heart. For him, to see us overcome our own limitations and work on our shortcomings are much more important than our dreams.
Let us therefore put our hope and faith in Him for indeed we can truly find solace.. ./ Inday B.
